I really wanted to ride today, but Sunday is chasse day, round our way, so I tend not to.
So, I continued on from yesterday and took Anky into the field on a long lead rope.
She was calmer today, less panicky, but very distracted. It was more a case of, Ok, I'm not too worried but I'd rather be back with my mates. AND, I can hear my boy calling me!! (Remy, big numpty!! What a baby.)
At first she was quite unwilling to play, reluctant to participate, she set off a few times trotting and cantering around me, but each time within a few seconds she slowed and came in towards me. It was more difficult to keep her attention, but after a while she seemed to accept and I led her around the field quite happily.
So, not a big "aha" moment today, but we progress, I think.
